I believe a custom model is needed, or you'll have to make a dummy unit effect that is the correct size, but i'm not all that good with effect dummys.

Step 1: Create a dummy using the model file of Mana Shield, give it the ability Locust.
Step 2: Set the scale to the matching size.
HINT: Create an instance of the Necropolis and your dummy beside each other in WE, then set the scale and check each time.
Step 3: Trigger your way. Too complicated, I believe others will write down the triggers.

Just create unit that won't have movement and it will have model of mana shield, and locust abbility (it's abbility that disallows the unit to be selected or attacked.. ^^

That's the first step

be sure to remove it's ability to attack too.

Is it so hard to change the model size for him instead of dragging him into the boring trigger-abyss?

Edit: I just tried to change the size of it but that results of a total wreckage of the animations. So it's probally a no-no to the size-modding.
